Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A lever-type connector includes a first connector, a second connector, and a lever that rotates to fit the first connector and the second connector together, the first connector and the second connector being mounted into a mounting hole of a panel when the first and second connectors are in a fitted state. The lever includes a flexible locking portion. The first connector includes a locked portion with which the locking portion is engaged in a manner such that the lever rotates to bend the locking portion when the first and second connectors are properly fitted together. The locking portion includes a regulating portion positioned to face an edge portion of the mounting hole of the panel when the first connector and the second connector properly fitted together are mounted in the mounting hole so as to prevent the engagement between the locking portion and the locked portion from being released.
